That's like eating 4 pints of B&J in one sitting. I have no doubt there are people on these forums who can do that, but I doubt they will be happy afterwards. In the past when I've been at peak weight and able to eat a lot more than I do/can now, 3 pounds at one time was pushing my limits hard. Remember that doesn't include the liquids you consume which add a pound for every pint you consume also, so if you have 2 bears with this sundae you are at 5 pounds in your belly. Most people will be in at least moderate distress if they do that.

I guess this thread is as good a place as any to mention the "2014 Ballpark Recommendations & Policies" that the Sox just posted at whitesox.com (I'd give the entire link but it keeps giving me error messages when I try to)

There's some interesting stuff that I'm not entirely sure we knew involving stuff like parking prices and new security, but I'm particularly interested in this:

Quote:

For Opening Day, Monday, March 31, fans holding tickets for the upper level will not be able to access other levels of the ballpark. This policy ensures fans may safely and comfortably enjoy the game with access to the areas of the ballpark where they bought tickets.

So that implies that (for the first time in years, unless I'm out of the loop) the policy will NOT be in the place during the rest of the season, right?

Trust me, I speak from experience on this matter...

I can down a pint container of BJs in under 20 minutes and not feel queasy at all, which is making me curious and actually considering challenging myself to eating that sundae on my own. I think I could hold my own.

I recommend never to mix ice cream and beer...EVER! Some serious beer farts that will make an entire section hate you.

I've come pretty close to destroying one of those nacho helmets by myself without much effort. Three pounds of soft-serve with all of that **** on top of it, however, is not meant to be consumed by one human being.

I have eaten a nacho helmet by myself. It's really not that big (more chips than anything). But 3 lbs. of ice cream? Ugh, pass. Just thinking about it makes my stomach bloat.

You have fun with that.

I think this is one of the dumbest things the Sox do. There is a lot stuff on the main concourse that that UD tix / people can't get to. Just plain dumb. I have been to 36 major league parks and they are the only ones do something like that with the exceptions of you can't into the outfield seats / level if you have tix anywhere else in Fenway, Wrigley and County Stadium.

There are now plenty of option to buy cheap lower level tickets, either through the team directly, or the secondary market. Problem solved.

Actually, that's a thread I look forward to seeing started on Monday after people make it out for Opening Day, the annual USCF experience gripe thread.

Given the professional looking ads I've seen so far, I'm hoping the Homer Glen Middle School AV club has been officially retired and we do get a professional looking opening montage. I don't care if it's not the same as the 2004-2012 intro as long as it's something to get the crowd going.

....Of course it still is going to be shown on that woefully out of date scoreboard.
